I don’t read fics of ships I don’t like.
 
That being said, I saw a lot of pics on this site that makes me cringe. Yes, I am exaggurating the bad, as there are a lot of genuinely innocent pictures of the ship, but the few nasty ones ruined it for me.
 
Rarijack was better in Season 1.

Personally, I think they only used to do that sort of thing. Maybe it was just a phase.

“Also because Rarijack is OTP.”
 
I cannot and will not argue with this. Because Rarijack is OTP, as far as I’m concerned.

I don’t see it as bad in the show.  
Its the FANS that corrupt it and make Spike want to fuck Rarity and have Rarity lust over Spike like he’s some handsome I don’t even know what. In the show, its an innocent one sided crush, in the fans eyes, it’s a perverted, disgusting mess.  
And that’s why Soarburn is OTP.

I have nothing against “Sparity,” I was just saying some fan ‘shippers go overboard, and get to obsessed with their prefered pairings to the point where it influences what they think is “best” for the show. Like all the people upset Spike is a “dog” in E.G. so he can’t be with her. (Which he can’t anyways, ‘cause he’s to young.)  
That’s all I was saying.
 
Heck, I even have a few Sparity pics upvoted/favorited, even though I’m not into that pairing. Like you said, I can only see it happening when Spike is portrayed “grown-up,” (it’s not that uncommon, I guess, my Dad is 10 years older then my Mom, and they fell in love when they were both grown-ups) otherwise it’d be a bit creepy having Rarity dig a li’l kid…

EqG universe is messed up age wise anyway. CMCs aren’t freshmen in high school, and four years isn’t all that separates the mane six from them.
 
A more accurate one would have Spike be a freshman, CMCs as elementary schoolers, and the mane six as college aged.

Also, Lauren is no longer god of the MLP universe. Her ideas, though important to the foundation of it all, may be used or jettisoned by the current gods as they see fit, and that is okay.
 
I never accepted L’s “proposed ages” answer anyway. It makes no sense considering what the mane cast actually do. Did you have that much freedom at ~14? I sure didn’t. Realistically, the mane six would be, if humans, around their early 20’s.
 
Which is why the whole High School spinoff idea never made any goddamn sense.

Mostly I dislike it because I find Spike terribly annoying as a character, and with the way he’s depicted on the show the whole Sparity thing gives off a creepy pedo vibe that smacks of the double standard of “older female on younger male is hot!”
 
Imagine if the genders were reversed. Spike is a girl and Rarity is a man. Everything else is the same, Spike is still crushing on him and everything. Now I’m not saying there wouldn’t still be a lot of people who’d ship Sparity, but it would come off as a lot creepier because as a society we’re hard wired to find that sort of relationship disturbing.
 
That in a nut shell is why people hate Sparity. Also because Rarijack is OTP.

And no, they aren’t in the age for each other currently. I’ve seen some good fics that explore the concept of Rarity going through a string of boyfriends/being engrossed in her work and Spike grows up comforting her the entire way. It ends with her realizing that someone has always been there for her.

In the episode Cutie Mark Chronicles, we see Twilight hatching Spike. Seeing as she is doing that to get into a magic academy, she can’t be much older than five when that happens, maybe younger because it’s mentioned that she had no formal magic training up until that point, yet Twilight has traumatic memories of Magic Kindergarten.  
If Spike were only eight, that would make Twilight 12-13 years of age, which isn’t an adult.

@Itsthinking  
Well thats depend, if Wet talk about the EQG universe it would be even more less considering the CMCs are junior (12-13). Maybe that will put Spike somewhere between (12-14) if We consider that he is slightly older than the CMC

Spike is seven or eight years younger than Twilight herself.

I know right? I think that every few Sparity pic gets filled with this type of discussions and posts (I remember there was a pic that reached 102 comments).

Because the fans of it corrupt it from an innocent one sided crush to a perverted ugly mess.

Lauren chose her words carefully, as she does. She could have easily been referring to his emotional maturity rather than physical. (plus dragons have weird-ass lifespans)
 
We saw Spike being hatched. During all those flashbacks, none of the CMC’s appeared. Therefore it is not unreasonable to assume he is older than they are. He could also be younger but neither is confirmed.
 
And seriously, why the hell is everyone bitching about Sparity? As long as Spike is appropriately aged-up (or Rarity aged down and any explicitness be thoroughly dropped), who the hell cares?

Nice pic, though, Rarity’s arms seem a bit short, considering her legs, and body were extended.
 
@Mayojar77  
Physically, he’s a li’l kid though, sense dragons age differently from ponies.
 
No offense, (this isn’t directed at you) but I wish people would stop having their prefered pairings influence what they think is “best” for the show honestly… (Alot of Sonic, Harry Potter, and such fan ‘shippers do that to, and it’s annoying.)  
I remember some annoying girl on DA was drawing a bunch of Cheerilee-hate pics, shortly before the “Hearts & Hooves Day” episode aired, because she feared it would sink her “FlutterMac” fan-‘shipping, and make CheeriMac canon.  
(Ironically, that doesn’t exactly happen.)
 
This is why I’m not to into ’shipping honestly…

ANd yet so many still defend her points aside from that one! Gee I wonder why, no one wants to see Spike’s crush on Rarity as just a little crush, do they?
